Would Yamaha RX-V473 (Discrete Amp) power these?

hard to say. I run them on marantz sr6005... which is a bit more powerful (100W)... however, according the manufacturer specs (polk audio), they would run with an amplifier 20-200W...

Should be fine. They are rated up to 100w. Just be sure that the impedence the amp requires (usually 8 ohms), to the speakers (I think 8 ohms).

Yes and no. Of it will power them... any amp would...woulol your subs like it...nope

These speakers need power. I have 120W per channel and they could take more. Dont skimp on power.

These Yamaha speakers connect to a amplifier with standard speaker cable. 60 watts per channel should be fine.

Yes... With ease... Just ensure you run the wires in parallel. This is a mono (1 channel) amp. If you run Two 4 ohm speakers in series the R500X1D will run a 8 ohms. ... (R=Rockford) (500=watts) (X1=Channel) (D=Class D Amplifier)

These could barely handle the wattage from my cd player. Your amp is probably 2 ohm stable and is in 2 ohm when bridged 4 ohms when not. I have a 4 channel 2 ohm stable amp and that is how it is. I would not hook an amp up to these.

I don't know why it wouldn't. I think that receiver has more than enough power and these speakers are pretty rugged. I'm driving 2 of them with an old NAD 50-watt hybrid amp.

That's what I use to power this amp. It will work. Moreover, it's always good to overpower ur sub than underpower them. Use the gain adjustment in the amp to get the right setting.

You should be okay with that. Just be sure not to overpower it or you will blow the sub. I've used underpowered amps on mine and they sound amazing!

No sorry I cannot answer that question, I will tell you that you will not be disappointed with there performance, I drive 2 of them with the pyle hybrid 3000 watt amp, which actually put out about 500 watts at 4 ohms, and the sound great, actually the amp fall short of being able to deliver what they can handle

I use the Yamaha RX-V373 5.1-Channel AV Receiver unit. It delivers powerful sound to 4 of these speakers. The Lepai LP-2020A delivers 20 watts in to 2 channels RMS. The speakers can handle 120 watts each. I guess my advice is, If your going to spend the money for these speakers get an amp that will power them. Maybe something on the low end like the Sherwood RX-4109 200W.Good luck and happy listening!

It will depend on the how the gain on your amp is set. IMO, 500 watt RMS power for these speakers is way overkill.

Def Tech's manual states 20 to 150 watts. Check your Yamaha's owners manual for your output.

I actually don't own these. ( I wish) but I do own a bunch of cerwin Vega speakers and from what I understand they are made to be played on almost any wattage. I'm no expert by any means but 85w and it being a Yamaha u should be fine. I run 140w to the single 12" version of that and it ROCKS!

It should - the RXV573 has a subwoofer output. Pay attention to cabling - I can't remember off the top of my head what the receiver end of my setup looks like (std speaker cable posts vs. RCA like on the 573).

They don't take much ...a 1-2-3 channel amp 1200 watts is plenty of power for three of these ...look into cadence amps
